Paleo General Tso’s Chicken

This was really good. However, since I used coconut oil--I could still taste it. I feel this dish was a bit oily. If I were to make it again, I would try to limit the oil in a way. Otherwise, it was tasty.


Ingredients

Chicken breasts, cut into bites sized pieces
1 Cup of tapioca flour
1/4 Cup of  coconut oil

Sauce:
1 Tbsp of coconut oil
1 Tsp of sesame oil
2 Tbsp of ketchup
1 Tbsp of  coconut sugar
3 Tbsp of coconut aminos (or liquid aminos)
2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 Tsp of arrowroot powder 
1 Tbsp of garlic, minced
1/2 Tsp of ginger, minced
Scallions, chopped

Directions

1. Melt the coconut oil in a big pan
2. Dredge the chicken in the tapioca flour, coat well
3. Cook on all sides until golden brown and crispy
4. While cooking the chicken, in a medium sized pan add the coconut oil, sesame oil, ketchup, coconut sugar, coconut aminos and balsamic
5. Let it heat up then add the arrowroot and stir until it thickens
6. Once thick, add the garlic and ginger 
7. Toss the sauce with the chicken and sprinkle the scallions on top
